After qualify✱ing on the inside of the grid for the Aragon MotoGP and fallin💦g backwards off the line in the Sprint on Saturday, Brad Binder described the conditions of the starting grid at MotorLand as “f*cking dangerous”.

The MotorLand circuit was resurfaced ahead of the 2024 Aragon MotoGP, a race which was memorable for the difficulties 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia had getting off the line on the factory Ducati in both the Sprint and Grand Prix from third on the grid – positi꧒oned on t🌳he same side of the grid as the sixth-place grid slot Binder qualified for in Saturday morning’s Q2.

The South Afric𝐆an had a similar experience to Bagnaia last year on the start of the 2025 Sprint, slipping almost to last place on the run to turn one.

Well awar🌱e of the identicality of his starting circumstances for Sunday’s Grand Prix to those he faced in the Sprint, Binder was🅠 also concerned when looking ahead.

“They need to get those safety cars to do some burnouts, I don’t know what else we’re going to do,” 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder said after the Sprint.

“Firstly, it sucks because you qualify well and you just throw it away; but, secondly, it’s f*cking dang𒈔erous because going into turn one I had everyone go aroun♐d me because they’re arriving 30–40kph faster.

“When you’ve got such a difference in speed, one gu𝔉y’s braking already and I’m still flat out because I don’t have enough speed to even⛦ get to turn one.

“It’s so sketchy.

“Hopefuಌlly🐷 we can try and figure something out for tomorrow.”

Binder also said that there was some frustration ꧙at having finally been able to achieve a decent result in qualifying, only for it to be undone by a poor start.

“Finally I get aꦜ good qualifying and I did a rolling burnout to turn one,” Binder said.

“I went back to maybe 16th or 17th, then I passed a few guys in the first couple of sectors, but then your front tyre is absolu🐠tely cooked.

“🦩I ended up going off-track in turn 🌺12 trying to make up time.

“Not a good Sprint. I expected something good today but I think that rolling burnout into turn one didn’t do mꦯe any favours.”

“Honestly, I had a sick feeling when I came in and saw I was sixth that I’m pretty screwed for the start because anywhere we’ve launched this weekend that’s no♒t on the [racing] line you just spin,” he said.

“I don’t k🍸now. It’s not really very good. I kind of wish I’d qualified seventh.🐈”

He said that, knowing how he would struggle to get away fro𒉰m the grid, he and his team had prepared his start strategy with specific consideration for his position on the grid.

“We knew it’s a dirty part of the track and it’s probably going to spin, so we did eve𒅌rything we could: we cut power, we made everything so it wouldn’t spin, and it did anyway,” he said.

“The reality is that, even when I pulled [away] on my sighting l🔴ap with not slipping the clutch, just opening the throttle, it spun as 💝well.

“It’s like ice, so I’m not exact🤡ly sure what 𓃲I’m going to do [for the Grand Prix].”

Acosta: “This is dangerous”

Binder’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Red Bull KTM Factory Racing teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta agreed with the South African that the situation on the grid in Aragon is “dangerous”, and appreciated his own fortune to have qualified fifth – in the centre of the second row – and avoided the worst of what he 𒀰called a “super-dirty” track surface.

🅠“I was lucky because I was in the centre of the track,” Acosta said of his own start in the Sprint.

“The same as Pecco [Francesco Bagnaia] was good [on Saturday] and last year was a disaster. You only have to seꦏe how ba🌌d was the starts from Pecco [in 2024].

“🌊Don’t get me wrong, but the track was super-dirty from the first day we came here.”

Acosta suggested something similar to Binder: that the safety cars s🐲hould💟 be used to clean the grid; or that in circumstances like those in Aragon the championship should allow teams to clean their grid slots.

“I know that it’s illegal [to clean ღthe grid], because I remember these things from Valentino [Rossi, in Qatar 2004],” he said, “but in these kind of tracks that are so dirty, maybe the championship should make something that maybe every position – minimum for the first 15 – can clean or put some rubber with the safety car or something because this is dangerous.

“When you are in the back it doesn’ဣt matter because you have three guys behind, but Brad [Binder] had maybe 16. This is not good.

“I think how they clean the track should be better for nex🉐t year꧅.”

🔯Acosta’s race resulted in a fifth-place finish, his best of the year on a Saturday – this despite front tyre temperature issues in the beginning.

“Was not bad but was not good,” Acosta summari🗹sed.

“After the first lap, I recovered 0.8 seconds 🃏to Morbidelli and these guys; then I tried to make a pass on Morbidelli and I went wide.

“Then started my nightmare with the overheating, locks, and disaster. I ꦓwas not able to stop♒ in a single braking, and it was difficult to manage.

“Then, Aldeguer passed me, I go behind, everything takes a bit of cold air🀅 and I start to come back again and be lik⛦e 0.6 seconds faster.

“For this, we have to be positive because tomorrow is another race, is other tyres, are ot﷽her many things.”

Acosꩵta was confident about his potential on a medium-compound rear tyre for the Grand Prix, having run a soft rear tyre in the Sprint, but he was no𒐪netheless concerned about improving the front end of his RC16.

“💮Today it’s true that the traction w🐭as not bad at all – normally I always complain about this but not today,” he said.

“But we need to think about the frontജ because today I was not able to overtake anyone – I mean anyone, [also] Morbidelli when I came back because I started to have the problems again, the same problems that I was taking about from the beginning of the year. But more or less I understand from where it comes.

“Just, let’s think about tomor𝕴row and let’s iꦑmprove myself and the bike for tomorrow.”
